Batman #552 1998

Batman #552, published by DC in March 1998, concludes "The Greatest Evil" storyline. Batman aids Ragman, who struggles with his mystical Suit of Souls amidst hate crimes by the Aryan Reich. After Rabbi Luria's tragic sacrifice, Ragman regains control, and they apprehend the criminals. This issue is notable as the final collaboration of the long-standing creative team of Doug Moench, Kelley Jones, and John Beatty on the Batman title, and it also foreshadows the upcoming "Cataclysm" crossover event.
